Thanxx for all the suggestions, I will think about them and then my Husband will no doubt tell me which one he is willing to part with his hard-earned cash for!

Hi,

Can anyone help? I live with two Cocks, well they are humans, but only just. Anyway, They refuse to turn the heating up to 20C as they say they cant afford it as its too expensive to turn the heating up that high. Ive explained that that is room temperature but they are idiots.

We have a condensing tumble dyerwhich they use for at least an hour everyday and i wa wondering if there were any facts i could show them to prove that the tumble dryer is more expensive then the heating.

Please help.

This last post has now got a new thread of its own.

Get a condenser.

How have you come to that conclusion? In that post, the most efficient TD is a vented one. They're also a lot cheaper and generally there's a lot less to go wrong. If you have a proper vent (preferably through the wall), a vented model is a far better buy.

I need advice on buying a tumble dryer, do I buy a condenser or a vented one? My washing machine is cream, can I get a cream dryer...

I've never seen a cream dryer - white or silver I think are likely to be your options. You could try spraying it cream, I suppose.

Actually it's not.

The most efficient is a GAS ONE !

That does not negate my point. The power used is immaterial to the question of whether a vented or condenser dryer is better. The points I made above re the superiority of a vented dryer still stand.assuming you are comparing like for like.

Kindly don't shout next time.
